Key Lime Pie

It just doesn’t get more American, than the scrumptious and unique flavor of the Key Lime Pie. You have to use authentic Florida Key limes, it’s the only way to reproduce this wonderful dessert. They are smaller, and abundantly more flavorful and pungent than ordinary limes.

While the crust is baking, grate the zest of 6 key limes in a bowl, and juice 14 key limes, or as many as it takes to make 1/2 cup of fresh Key Lime juice.

Now add together into a large mixing bowl the Key Lime juice, egg yolks, and condensed milk, and whisk vigorously until everything is well incorporated together.

Pour the Key Lime Pie filling into the crust, place the whole assembled pie in the oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or just until the filling is set up well.

Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack (or other suitable surface) and allow it to cool to room temperature

Whip the cream together with the vanilla and confectioner’s sugar, until you see soft peaks forming.

Spread the whipped topping over the cooled pie.

To serve, garnish each piece of your Key Lime Pie with a very thin slice of Key Lime, and as always, have some freshly brewed, dark roast coffee to go with it.
